Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The chance-quality estimate gave Pettlees 2.59 xG against four goals, an over-performance of 1.41, while Ilforne Villa scored once from 0.98 xG, almost exactly in line with the estimate. The visitors’ 12 shots and nine on target, compared with five and three for the hosts, point to a clear advantage in both volume and accuracy. Their 21 dribbles to five also suggest Pettlees were more successful at carrying the ball into threatening situations. The four-goal return came ahead of the underlying chance estimate, but not in defiance of the match’s broad direction: Pettlees created more and made those opportunities count.

Ilforne Villa: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Pettlees:

• Luis Pinto (7.6) - Scored twice, including the second goal that helped Pettlees establish their early advantage.

The early burst proved decisive. Pettlees scored in the 3rd and 5th minutes, then added a third in the 14th; Ilforne Villa did respond through Michel Lemoine ten minutes before half-time, but that goal could only narrow the deficit. The visitors restored their three-goal cushion when Luis Pinto scored again in the 67th minute. With the final score Ilforne Villa 1 - 4 Pettlees, the hosts’ single reply never became the start of a sustained recovery.

The numbers offer a neat outline of why. Pettlees had more possession, more attempts, more shots on target and a substantial edge in dribbles, while their higher pass accuracy helped them retain the advantage they had seized so quickly. Ilforne Villa were not without a goal or a share of the contest, but their three yellow cards and five total shots sit beside a sizeable gap in attacking output. Pettlees left with the points and a convincing margin; the first quarter-hour had already made the afternoon’s central decision for them.
